  13. Point Defects • Point Defects Represent disorder, vacancy, Higher Temperature locations in structure • Shottky Defects: Cations (or Anions) absent from structure • Frenkel Defects: Dislocation of a Cation or Anion into an adjacent (normally vacant) site • Shottky & Frenkel Defects don’t affect Stoichiometry • Impurity Defects: Interstitial or Substitutional can affect colour even at ppb or ppm levels e.g. Ti in Quartz to form Amythest or Rutillated form

  14. Crystal Defects: Point, Line & Plane Frenkel Edge Dislocation Lineage Structure Impurity Defect Screw Dislocation Shottky fig_10_08

  15. Other Defects in Crystals • Stacking Faults: AB-AB-A –AB in Hexagonal, ABC-ABC- BC-ABC in Cubic, TOT-TOT-T-TOT in clays (a missing layer) • Omission solid solution: A more highly charged cation substitutes for 2 cations leaving 1 void as in 2K+AlSi3O8Pb+2AlSi3O8 + □AlSi3O8□Ca2Mg5Si8O22(OH)2Na+Ca2Mg5Al3+Si7O22(OH)2 Also in Beryl, Zeolites & in defect structures like Pyrrhotite (Fe2+1-3xFe3+2x)□x S Fe6S7 – Fe11S12 • Colour Centers: electron for anion as in Fluorite • Chain width errors in amphiboles, clays: curls

  17. Epitaxial Overgrowths (Energy) (oriented mineral-mineral contacts) Controls on Exsolution & Twinning Also granoblastic textures: Quartzite, Marble & foliations in schist, gneiss also Catalytic surfaces, templates, adsorbtion fig_10_11

  18. Parallel Crystal Growth (C-axes)(Really all one crystal) Scepter Quartz Barite Tablets fig_10_12

  19. Twinning: Symmetrical intergrowth of 2 or more crystals of the same mineral Twin Laws have a Composition Plane & or a rotational axis Or mirror, as a single extra symmetry element Atoms in the Composition Plane Fit both crystal lattices fig_10_13

  20. 3 Causes for Twinning • Growth twins are the interruption or change in the lattice during formation due to deformation from a larger substituting ion • Annealing or Transformation twins result of a change in crystal system during cooling as one form becomes unstable & the crystal structure re-organizes into a more stable form • Deformation or gliding twins result from stress on the crystal after the crystal has formed, as during regional metamorphism • HCP structure is the most likely to twin of the three common crystal structures: BCC, FCC, and HCP • Epitaxis and Parallel growth simply reduces free surface energy and is not twinning

  41. Types of Magnetic Mineral Behaviour(in the presence of an external field) • Diamagnetic: paired electrons, no moment, repelled by field. e.g. Calcite, Quartz, Feldspar • Paramagnetic: few unpaired electrons, weakly attracted, thermal randomization dominates. e.g. Olivine, Augite, Hypersthene, Hornblende • Ferromagnetic: dominantly aligned unpaired electron domains. Strongly attracted & capable of remnance. e.g. Taenite & Kamacite in FeNi • Ferrimagnetic: aligned unpaired electons outweigh anti-aligned ones. e.g. Magnetite, Chromite, Pyrrhotite, Greigite, Smythite
